Chapter 1294: At the venue of the wedding ceremony!
The next day.
A day before the wedding ceremony was to take place.
The outside world was still causing an uproar!
The people were still in shock over the revelation!
This news had come too suddenly for the entertainment industry. It was too earth-shattering. Immediately, everyone in the country, including the media, turned their attention to Zhang Ye and his wedding. Until they could see it with their own eyes or hear it with their own ears, many of them refused accept this truth!
On the highway.
Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing, together with their families, were heading to the hot spring resort. The hotel over there had been cleared out, and it was the final day of the preparations. There was still a lot to get done, and the stage had to be set up as well. There was also a rehearsal that they needed to do, so it was a really busy day for them. The staff from Zhang Ye\'s Studio had already come down in advance to set the place up.
In the sedan.
Zhang Ye was making quite a few calls.
…
"Little Zhou, is the Chinese Kwa ready for collection yet?"
"They said that they should be able to get it completed by today."
"Don\'t just leave it at that, we need it tomorrow."
"Alright, I\'ll go and hurry them up."
"Bring it back before the afternoon."
"Understood, Director Zhang."
...
"Director Zhang, the reporters are in a frenzy. The main entrance to the resort has been totally blocked off!"
"What? How many of them are there?"
"There are over a hundred reporters from more than thirty different media outlets!"
"Hold them off for now. Don\'t let anyone get in and let them know that we will not be giving any interviews!"
"OK, we\'re coordinating with the resort\'s security."
"We\'ll be arriving very soon."
"Drive in through the rear entrance. I\'ll be waiting over there."
"Alright."
…
"Director Zhang, the representatives from the endorsement companies have arrived."
"OK, I got it."
"So what do we do with them?"
"Host them for now. We\'ll talk about the rest when I get there."
…
The call ended.
Zhang Ye\'s voice had gone hoarse from talking so much.
Seated next to him, Wu Zeqing handed him a bottle of water.
Zhang Ye\'s mother asked, "What was that about endorsement companies?"
Zhang Ye said pretentiously, "I was just going to talk about this. Well, I\'m getting married, aren\'t I? As such, those brand names that I\'m endorsing have all come looking for me. They\'re hoping that they can make use of the wedding ceremony to give their products some exposure. Heh, isn\'t that causing trouble? It\'s my big day and I\'m expected to advertise for them? I\'ll chase them all away the moment we get there! This is so infuriating!"
His father smacked his lips and said, "Why are you chasing people away on your wedding day?"
Zhang Ye said firmly, "I have to! I must chase them all away!"
Li Qinqin smiled and said, "Little Ye, what\'s there to get angry about?"
Wu Changhe added, "It\'s no big deal displaying a few of their products. Aren\'t you their spokesperson?"
Zhang Ye said in anger, "But how can we allow that?"
Wu Zeqing said, "Just let them do it, it\'s only a minor thing."
I can\'t, Old Wu." Zhang Ye shook his head.
Li Qinqin spoke, "There\'s nothing wrong with that, Little Ye. Let me have the final say on this matter. Other celebrities also take care of the brands they endorse at their weddings. Those companies have all invested so much money and given so much advertisement exposure to you. The endorsement fees they paid you are also top in the industry, aren\'t they? Therefore, you cannot let them miss out on something like that. How can you even think of chasing them away? Surely that wouldn\'t look good on you, right? Isn\'t it just having a few small product placements at the wedding? I\'ll decide on it then, just let them do it."
Zhang Ye blinked. "Is that really fine?"
Li Qinqin said, "Yes, it\'s no big deal."
"Alright then, I\'ll listen to you." Zhang Ye had no choice but to agree with her.
Up ahead.
They finally arrived at the hot spring resort.
When the car pulled into the hotel, everyone who got out of the car was dumbfounded!
Toothpaste!
Jewelry!
Mineral water!
Milk!
Soap!
The reading app!
Sanitary ware!
People from over a dozen of Zhang Ye\'s endorsed brands crowded together!
Behind them, all kinds of advertising placards and signs, including an advertising inflatable, had been put up!
"You\'re finally here!"
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Teacher Zhang, where should we place these?"
"Please help us find a spot!"
Chattering came from every direction.
His mother was stunned. "Little Ye, why are there so many of them!"
Zhang Ye gave a sheepish smile and said, "I\'m endorsing quite a few brands."
His father stared at him. "But this is too many!"
Li Qinqin and Wu Changhe were also startled and were slow to react!
Zhang Ye went forward and started ordering them around. "Everyone, please line up, and don\'t be in a rush. Just calm down and listen to what I have to say. Those who are from Family Spring, please put your advertising placard up at Zone A where the reporters will be entering. I will be arranging for manpower to ensure that every reporter and celebrity attending the ceremony tomorrow will get a bottle of your water in their hands. You will be the designated brand of water at the venue!"
The people from Family Spring said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!
Zhang Ye shouted, "What about the milk? Where\'s the dairy manufacturer?"
A few of the dairy employees hollered back, "We\'re here, we\'re here!"
Zhang Ye pointed at them. "Good, you guys are also one of the designated drinks. Did you bring along your ad placard today? Good, place it over here. Right, secure it properly. It might get windy tomorrow."
Installation.
Inflation.
Within a short span of 20 minutes.
The reception area was almost filled up with advertisements. There were even some that could not be placed due to a lack of space. The entire area looked quite lively!
Zhang Ye\'s mother called out, "Enough! Don\'t place any more things here!"
A distance away, Zhang Ye told some workers, "There\'s still some space, try to squeeze a few more in!"
His mother got mad and went up to Zhang Ye and gave him a beating!
Zhang Ye turned tail and ran away. "Aiyo, Mom! What are you doing!"
"Watch how I\'ll kill you!" His mother was incensed!
Wu Zeqing just stood there and laughed.
Li Qinqin and Wu Changhe hurriedly went over to pull her back.
"In-law!"
"Aiyo, In-law, don\'t hit him anymore!"
"The media is out there watching!"
Finally, Wu Mo and Fat Sis arrived!
When Wu Mo saw the place, he exclaimed, "Ah? Everything has been arranged already?" He turned around and got his workers to unload the vehicle. "Hurry, hurry! Get everything down from the vehicle and quickly set it up!"
Fat Sis was also getting her people to unload their items.
Li Qinqin was stunned. "Why are you two here as well?"
Fat Sis said, "To put up the advertisements for my new game, of course."
Wu Mo followed up with, "Teacher Zhang is the spokesperson for our Brain Gold Company. Since he\'s getting married to my aunt, it would be wrong if I don\'t advertise a little to make sure that the millions in endorsement fees are well spent."
Li Qinqin said, "B-But there\'s no space anymore!"
Wu Mo looked around and finally pointed at the main stage. "That\'s my spot!"
Wu Changhe very nearly beat someone up as well. "That\'s where the bride and groom will be standing!"
Wu Mo blinked and said, "They can just stand nearer the front. My placard can be placed behind them."
Fat Sis came over to snatch the spot. "Get lost, this is my spot!"
"Aunt! I found this spot first!" Wu Mo said in panic!
Fat Sis and Wu Mo nearly came to blows!
Zhang Ye quickly came over to break them apart. He came up with a bad idea and said, "Mo\'er, just pass some Brain Gold to Uncle. When he arrives and make his entrance, the media will surely turn their attention to him. Once the cameras are all focused on him, just get Uncle to drink some Brain Gold to boost his spirit before entering. That\'ll ensure that the entire process will get recorded!"
Wu Mo said excitedly, "Right, right! That\'s a good idea!"
Wu Changhe nearly vomited a mouthful of blood. "You want me to drink that? Your sister! What would I have to boost my spirit for!" Wu Changhe went up wanting to hit him. "Get over here!"
Zhang Ye turned and ran. "You guys discuss it amongst yourselves!"
Li Qinqin said to Wu Zeqing, "Daughter, hurry up and give him a talking to!"
But Wu Zeqing couldn\'t care less. She just smiled and said, "This is the reception, not where the wedding ceremony will be held, so just let him handle it. It does look pretty good, doesn\'t it?"
"What do you see here that makes you say that it looks good?" Li Qinqin was at her wits\' end.
An hour later.
The setup was complete.
Everyone felt rather confused when they saw the place!
Was this the reception area of a wedding ceremony?
Why did it look more like a trade fair!
